Shell echo off

dcantero — Wed, 05 Nov 2014 11:39:36 GMT

How can I disable the MQX shell echo?

I´m working with MQX 4.1 and I need to disable shell echo. I have changed the "BSP_DEFAULT_IO_OPEN_MODE" define in "twrk70f120m.h" removing the IO_SERIAL_ECHO flag:

#define BSP_DEFAULT_IO_OPEN_MODE (void *) (IO_SERIAL_XON_XOFF | IO_SERIAL_TRANSLATION /* | IO_SERIAL_ECHO*/)

but after that the shell stops working!!!!

I have revised the code in "serl_pol.c" (for polled serial device) but i havent found an easy way to disable serial echo.

Some ideas??????

Thanks in advance!!!!!

Hi David,

You can use ioctl IO_IOCTL_SERIAL_SET_FLAGS to read current flags, clear

IO_SERIAL_ECHO from the read value and write the new flag using ioctl IO_IOCTL_SERIAL_GET_FLAGS.

Have a great day,
Sol

Hi,

I don't know if it's still true with MQX4.1, but with MQX3.4 and MQX3.7, the IO_IOCTL_SERIAL_SET_FLAGS ioctl was only working for the serial line, but not when connected to the shell from a remote machine through the MQX TELNET server.

I had to fix that to implement a login password with echo disabled (for obvious reasons), and to add some more professional class features to the shell prompt such as history, command recall, command line edition, ...
